Focus and Scope
Dialogue & Discourse seeks previously unpublished, high quality articles on the analysis of discourse and dialogue that contain
- experimental and/or theoretical studies related to the construction, representation, and maintenance of (linguistic) context
- linguistic analysis of phenomena characteristic of discourse and/or dialogue (including, but not limited to: reference and anaphora, presupposition and accommodation, topicality and salience, implicature, discourse structure and rhetorical relations, discourse markers and particles, the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts, questions, imperatives, non-sentential utterances, intonation, and meta-communicative phenomena such as repair and grounding)
- experimental and/or theoretical studies of agents' information states and their dynamics in conversational interaction
- new analytical frameworks that advance theoretical studies of discourse and dialogue
- research on systems performing coreference resolution, discourse structure parsing, event and temporal structure, and reference resolution in multimodal communication
- experimental and/or theoretical results yielding new insight into non-linguistic interaction in communication
- work on natural language understanding (including spoken language understanding), dialogue management, reasoning, and natural language generation (including text-to-speech) in dialogue systems
- work related to the design and engineering of dialogue systems (including, but not limited to: evaluation, usability design and testing, rapid application deployment, embodied agents, affect detection, mixed-initiative, adaptation, and user modeling).
- extremely well-written surveys of existing work
Highest priority is given to research reports that are specifically written for a multidisciplinary audience.
The audience is primarily researchers on discourse and dialogue and its associated fields, including computer scientists, linguists, psychologists, philosophers, roboticists, sociologists.

Peer Review Process
There are no fixed issues, articles are published as soon as the final version has been accepted (we are committed to achieving a mean time between submission and decision of 3 months). Once a year, a volume collecting all articles from that year is published by CSLI publications.
Reviewing is single-blind (the identities of reviewers are not known to authors, but that of the authors is known to the reviewers). At least three reviewers will review each submission that is not a desk reject. Of course, no conflicts of interest are allowed, and authors of papers may not come into contact with any part of the acceptance process.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
